Abstract
The Poll DNA marker test is used to determine the poll genetics of an animal, given the alleles observed within the poll locus. This paper describes improvements made to the commercially available Poll DNA marker test, to capture more variability, enable predictions that are more accurate and clarify uncertainty of polled probabilities.
